Chapter 87
: Really... can't you help me block the evacuation point?
In the end, Xia Ming still planned to wait until winter to try and build a relationship with Brother Harvey and ask a breeder to help him organize the breeding data.
Fortunately, as long as you don't mess around with Pokémon training, it's not too late to wait until they reach level 50 or 60.
Some Pokémon have enough natural talent to grow to this level.
In short, training is about helping Pokémon accelerate the realization of their talents and how to infinitely elevate them based on their original talents.
To truly break through one's own limits, it ultimately comes down to "battles." Whether it's a test of life and death or the bond with a trainer, these are the stages where Pokémon can truly perform miracles.
………………
A week later.
The farm's fields have been replanted with lush green cranberry plants. Insects and cocoons crawl around in the fields, helping to loosen the soil with their bodies and sensing the seedlings' condition through their sense of taste.
They can tell which seedling is growing well and which is not by simply licking its stem and leaves. They can even nibble off the bad parts for a treat, and then call on the nearby Lily Root Dolls to repair it on the spot with grass-type energy.
The two babysitters were near the field, weaving clothes for their babies out of leaves while collecting the silk threads that the babies accidentally scattered.
These silkworm silks are of superior quality and can be used to weave clothes, even better than the silk spun by caterpillars.
Not far from the field, three figures stood quietly on the road leading away from the farm.
Xia Ming took the straw hat off his head and placed it on his chest, his eyes glistening with reluctant tears.
"I thought our friendship had grown rapidly in just a few days, and that we were willing to give each other something insignificant."
Have you forgotten? I accompanied you to the Pokémon Tea Party in the back mountains, guided you through Stardew Valley as your tour guide, and invited you to dinner together—all these things from the past…don't you really remember?
“…………”
Mingyi, who was from Bengbu, was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but speak:
"I have no interest in, nor any obligation to, sacrifice what you call insignificant things. We're leaving. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Really... can't you come with me to block the evacuation point? If we work together, how could we possibly defeat a regular enemy?!"
"But I don't want to lose the driftwood!"
"Add mold!"
You bad boy, don't corrupt my Mingyi!
The green vine snake, held in Mingyi's arms, raised its little hands and shouted loudly, its eyes filled with anger as it looked at Xia Ming.
This wicked person actually tried to corrupt her upright trainer! This is absolutely intolerable!
"Yukichi Yukichi!"
How can you talk like that? This is a test, a test you understand, it's not some frivolous thing!
Young Gilas, standing at Xia Ming's feet, had something to say, and he refuted the Green Vine Serpent with forceful words.
They were simply giving those trainers who longed to leave the Hyperdimension a fair and just trial, not calling them "corrupt" or "improper," or using such harsh language.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Xia Ming, thank you so much for your help these past few days."
At this moment, Bai Lu, who was holding little York, stepped forward to mediate. She first thanked Xia Ming, and then pulled Ming Yi aside:
"Didn't Mr. Xia Ming promise to meet Mingyi at the Hinoki Tournament next year? In order to have another match with you, collecting all eight Gym Badges is of utmost urgency!"
"Fine, whatever."
Having said that, Xia Ming had no choice but to abandon the idea of taking Mingyi along to block the bridge, and then said:
"When you travel to the Fukiyo area, remember to come visit me! My farm will always have two guest rooms reserved for you, and you're also welcome to try your hand at farming there."
"Brother Bao!"
Mingyi certainly wouldn't miss out on such a free meal, drink, and lodging opportunity. After slapping Xia Ming on the shoulder, she waved her hand:
"Let's have another match to test things out then, see you later~"
"goodbye!"
Waving goodbye, Xia Ming stood at the crossroads of the farm, watching Mingyi and Bailu's departing figures for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.
Only after the two had walked a distance did he speak to the two Pokémon beside him:
"Younggilas, Duraludon, did you hear that? We'll have to fight again next time we meet."
"Young Yoshi!"
Win!
"Lulu~"
Just you wait, boss.
"By the way, Aluminum Steel Dragon, when did you start calling me 'boss' so much?"
It seems that starting three days ago, Duraludon changed its way of addressing Xia Ming from "Trainer" to a somewhat thuggish "Boss".
What happened during his busy few days?
"Yukichi Yukichi!"
I will do this!
Without the slightest hesitation, Young Kiras revealed the whole story:
"Yukichi, Yukichi, Yukichi!"
Because I've been watching the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" recently, and the way Blaziken calls Lucario "boss" is so cool!
"Oh~"
Xia Ming suddenly realized.
If I remember correctly, "Let the Wave Fly" is a movie that was just released this year. It was produced by "Pokémon Hollywood" in the Liyong area.
The story revolves around Lucario, an ambitious young man who leads a group of Fighting-type Pokémon to Swan City to fight against the evil Tyranitar.
"Lulu~"
More or less.
Nodding, Dalmatian admitted that she did indeed enjoy watching the Pokémon movie.
Compared to what Larvitar and Rockruff watch, this is so much more mature!
Chatting and laughing all the way, Xia Ming left with his two Pokémon. Today was a rare day off, and it was time to relax.
So, what would be a relaxing thing for Xia Ming?
Back at Sophia's home, Xia Ming decisively picked up a Creation Crystal and pressed it into his bracelet:
"Let's go, Larvitar, Aluminum Steel Dragon, let's head to the extraction point!"
And so, a delightful bridge blockade began.
Meanwhile, what is our Miss Officer Jenny doing?
…………
In downtown Fuyu City, Officer Jenny and the rest of the Officer Jenny family are extremely busy dealing with the sudden Pokémon rage incident.
The league took this matter very seriously, even mobilizing a member of the Four Heavenly Kings and many high-ranking officials, doctors, and even rangers to coordinate and assist.
Will the arrival of so many people make things go smoothly?
Normally, yes!
Unfortunately, the smarter humans are, the more "abnormal" they become.
"Officer Salander, Miss Cattleya wants you to attend a meeting."
"Meetings, meetings, meetings! All we do all day is attend meetings! Can't we at least come up with some concrete rules and regulations?!"
A frustrated Officer Jenny was starting to lose her temper.
After the officials' meeting, the forest rangers' meeting; after the forest rangers' meeting, the researchers' meeting; after the researchers' meeting, the officials' meeting.
One side wants to use force, the other side wants to negotiate peace; one side doesn't offer enough benefits, the other side isn't willing to suffer losses.
Please, if this keeps dragging on, the Stone Pillar is about to activate!
